Line 93:
* Soviet Agent Kim Philby ended up as the head of British Intelligence's ''anti-Soviet'' branch, Section IX, for a brief time before he was suspected of being [[The Mole]] and moved to a different position.
** There were constant suspicions that 'the Fifth Man', the undiscovered Cambridge Spy and Philby's colleague, was actually whoever was the current 'C' of MI-6, a literal example of this trope.
** A similar story exists during [[World War II]]. Apparently, up until [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]]'s fourth ([[Killed Off for Real|and final]]) election, his Vice President was Henry A. Wallace, who in recent documents was indicated to actually be a Soviet plant. He was eventually removed in favor of [[Harry Truman|Harry S. Truman]], although that had less to do with suspicions of Wallace being a Soviet plant as it was due to them realizing that FDR was likely to die and wanting to ensure they had someone else for president.
* Admiral Canaris who was actually head of the [[Abwehr]] while also being part of the German Resistance.
* At the height of the [[Red Scare]], it was believed by some of the wackier [[Conspiracy Theorist|Conspiracy Theorists]] that President [[Dwight Eisenhower]] was a [[Dirty Communist|Soviet]] plant.
